SmartBear, a leading provider of software quality and visibility solutions, has been recognized by Gartner as a Leader in the 2024 Magic Quadrant for API Management report. The evaluation was based on specific criteria that analyzed the company’s overall completeness of vision and ability to execute in the API management market. Gartner Magic Quadrant research methodology provides a graphical competitive positioning of four types of technology providers in fast-growing markets: Leaders, Visionaries, Niche Players, and Challengers. Defined by Gartner, Leaders execute well against their current vision and are well positioned for tomorrow.
"At SmartBear, we believe that software quality needs a revolution to empower today's organizations to deliver world-class software with confidence,” said Frank Roe, CEO of SmartBear. “We believe being named a Leader by Gartner in the Magic Quadrant for API Management is a testament to our unwavering commitment to innovation, ensuring our API solutions help customers thrive in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.”
SmartBear is consolidating its popular developer tools into convenient hubs to streamline workflows. The SmartBear API Hub includes SwaggerHub for API design and documentation, ReadyAPI for testing, SwaggerHub Explore for exploration, PactFlow for contract testing, and Stoplight for API governance, equipping development teams to pragmatically deliver quality APIs at scale.
Earlier this year, SwaggerHub was named the winner in the 2024 DEVIES Awards for API Management and Support, and PactFlow was the winner in the Microservices and Serverless category. Hosted by DeveloperWeek, the DEVIES Awards are the largest developer technology awards worldwide.
SmartBear is actively involved in several open source communities, contributing to collaboration, innovation, and the development of its tools and technologies, and includes Spectral, Prism, Elements, Swagger, Pact, and SoapUI. The company is also driving the development of the Arazzo Specification, a new standard for describing API call sequences within the OpenAPI Initiative.
